As a fastener nails have had little variation since their first invention. An ancient Roman nail does not differ considerably from a modern machine produced one. Nails serve a vital purpose in a wide range of applications such as horse shoeing, building, picture hanging, upholstery, but are easily discarded as valueless once removed or if bent while hammering. My interest in them is once they have been discarded, when they no longer hold 'value' or 'purpose'.
